Chinedu ‘Aki’ Ikedieze unveils second wife
Chinedu ‘Aki’ Ikedieze, the Nollywood actor, has unveiled Stephanie Promise as his new wife — implying his first marriage to Nneoma Nwaijah may have crashed.
Aki and Nwaijah held their traditional wedding in November 2011 at Obolo, Isiala Mbano, Imo state.
It, however, remains unclear if and when his first marriage ended and when he tied the knot with Stephanie.

In a recent post celebrating Stephanie’s birthday, Aki revealed that their union has been blessed with three children.
In the lengthy post, Ikedieze referred to his wife as “my best friend and love of my life”. The film star also described her as the “heart of our family” and the “rock we all lean on”.
The actor prayed for God’s blessings over his wife, adding that he was “endlessly grateful” for the life they are building together.
“My world, my love! On this special day, I want to celebrate not only your birthday but the incredible journey we’ve been on together. You have blessed our lives with two beautiful girls who light up our world, and now, we have been gifted with a precious baby boy,” he wrote.
“Watching you embrace motherhood with such grace and strength fills me with awe. You are the heart of our family, the rock we all lean on. Your love and dedication to me and our children are unparalleled, and I am endlessly grateful for the life we are building together.
“As we welcome our son, Chidubem Ivan Chinedu Ikedieze (CiCi), into this world, I am reminded of the boundless love and joy you bring into my life. You are my partner, my best friend, and the love of my life.
“On this special birthday, I hope you feel the immense tenderness and appreciation surrounding you, the unbreakable bond and the love that radiates within you.
“Happy Birthday, baby, my angel, my sweetheart. Here’s to many more years of laughter, love, and beautiful memories. Happy birthday to my soulmate @iammsp1.”
Aki is best known for acting alongside his colleague Osita Iheme in the 2002 Nigerian comedy film ‘Aki na Ukwa’.
The film also marked their maiden collaboration as ‘Aki and Paw Paw’. Their chemistry has been celebrated in Nollywood.
In 2021, they delighted fans by remaking the iconic movie.
Aki has featured in over 150 films in a career spanning over 22 years. He acted in the role of a kid in most of his films during his early career due to his physical appearance.
In August last year, the film star revealed that he keeps his family members off social media to protect their privacy.
The 46-year-old actor also said he wants his wife and children to enjoy their lives without social media pressure.
